Frequently Asked Questions
I participated in Scholars Day. What now?
All Scholars Day participants receive a Wayne State Scholarship, a tuition scholarship valued at $1,500 a year for 4 years. After Scholars Day, selected students will receive increased scholarship offers, up to and including Presidential Scholarships, and other privately funded scholarships. Award notifications will be sent to students via postal mail the beginning of April. There will be a deadline for accepting or declining the award offer included with your contract.
How is the amount of my scholarship award determined?
Awards are based on your performance in the group interview; written essay; high school GPA; and ACT or SAT scores.
If I attend an earlier Scholars Day date do I have a better chance at a larger scholarship?
No, the date that you attend Scholars Day does not impact the amount of your scholarship award.
Can my parents attend?
You can bring up to 2 guests to Scholars Day. You and your guests will attend several presentations together then students will go to interview sessions and guests will attend a panel discussion. Students and guests will meet later for lunch and a campus tour.
How do I join the Honors College?
